For some reason, there was a huge offset on the home-position. I donīt know if it was bad GPS-signal, a bug, or the GPS that failed in the cold weather. But the offset was already visible before take-off.

At the moment negative altitude is not shown with a "-" sign on GPS-altitude, and you canīt tell the difference from positive or negative altitude. Off course, that made it quite difficult to use GPS-altitude. That will be fixed

There's quite a few changes, but the most noticeable:
- Negative GPS-altitude supported
- Negative temperature supported
- Delay-screen removed (can be turned on again if you find QUIET_BOOT in config)
- Show satellites added, but will only work with QUIET_BOOT disabled. With QUIET_BOOT enabled, the satellites will automatic show if GPS-fix have been lost.
- GPS-altitude can be replaced by pressure-altitude
- Added some configurations for better customization

I can see a problem at night flights. The black bars and dots on the right side can not be seen when it is dark in the background. I suggest either a night flight mode in all white, with a longer dot/bar to indicate the center or whites edges of the black bar and dot.

Great to see

You are right about the thermal-bar, it's not easy visible, if you fly at night. It should be a quick fix and I'll consider to include it as an option in next release.

The altitude is replaced with barometer-altitude, which have hanging characters. My mistake, will be fixed

The negative-sign is barely visible. Will be replaced with another character later

You are using 1 hz GPS which gives quite a slow response. Furthermore, as home-position is set relative to number of GPS-updates after fix, you have to wait something like 5 times as long for home-position as intended. Can change it for timer instead of GPS-updates

Except for that, whenever someone have some feedback on the barometer, please let me know. The filter can be changed for faster response, but with a bit more noise as result. Furthermore the precision for lift/sink rate can be decreased a bit to get faster response. It's all a compromise between samples, speed, precision and noise

I agree. I need to program the GPS in this bird, it's a 10hz version running af 1hz.

It clears the entire screen between top-line and bottom-line, when summary disappears. Mainly to ensure nothing's left hanging.
Normally the GPS-coordinates would appear again 1/5 second later, but as you are using 1 hz update-rate, it's easy visible.
